<p>I agree with all the very favorable reviews of the D700 here. It's a great camera, and I love shooting with it. I suppose it all comes down to whether the price is worth it? In my mind, you could ask the same question about the D700 vs the D3. I like the D3 better, but is it worth the extra price? That's such a personal question. In my view, if you make money from photography and do any critical shooting in low light conditions the shift to a full frame sensor is entirely worth the price - it's pretty much a non-question for me. If you don't make money from your photography, or don't do much shooting in low light, then I'm not sure it is.<br>

BTW, Peter Burian has a good discussion of the D700 on Photocrati here:<br>

And assuming that a large part of the reason you're making the upgrade it to move in to full-frame territory, Burian also has a good discussion of full-frame issues in a number of articles.<br>

<p>I enjoy the photography, but not the stress of having just one irreplaceable moment to shoot. I'll never adjust to that. Adding urgency and now-or-never stress always takes some of the enjoyment out of the process of shooting, regardless of what it's for.<br>

So not always the most enjoyable. But compared to doing OTHER work, like in an office? Yeah, I love wedding photography. So perhaps it depends on what you compare it to.<br>

@Ken - Nice photo!<br>
